The first ripening tomato.
Hopefully the corn grows. I have 2 zucchini plants that I wonder about. Some days they look good, others they look dead. We've now picked 2 yellow straight squash and any day ready to pick another. In addition to the aforementioned plants, I also have white pumpkins. I really hope they do good. It will be lots of fun to have white pumpkins for Halloween. It sure is a lot of work for what little I will get out of it. Amy and Lily get to reap the most benefits of my labor.
So you know, it took 4 trailer loads of dirt to fill the wood frame I built for the garden. All loaded and unloaded by hand. That is part of why I got a late start on the garden this year. Next year will be much more productive.

good luck with the corn
Congrats on the garden. That is a lot of work to do and I commend you.
Does that tomato looked deformed to anyone else? If you hadn't said it was a tomato I don't think I would have known.
Next thing you know, your house will be surrounded by a sweet subsistence garden and you'll be able to sell off your surplus at the farmer's market.
Just to update. A stupid dog or two got into the garden and knocked down a lot of the corn and knocked off the one tomato that was finally starting to turn ripe. This happened Thursday. Tuesday a dog got into our FENCED grass area that we planted this year and dug up the dirt around the tree. Police were called and for sure a report was filled out for the garden incident.
FYI Chelcie, that is a ROMA tomato. They do have those down there don't they? ;)
